DRYAD

MEDIUM FAE

Daughters of trees and keeper of leaves. It is said that should a tree live long enough near a wellspring of magic or ancient land, it births a conciousness. These young tree-kin live and learn, much like their treant elders, although instead of being the tree itself, will grow a body of female statuesque form made of bark and moss that can detach and roam the land as a separate branch. Shoud a dryad be threatened, she can merge back with her birthing tree, as long as it still lives, for if it perishes, so shall she wither.

DRYAD CULTURE

Naturally jovial and kind, dryads are also inherently shy creatures. While among their own kind or other fae-folk, dryads will have a natural instinct of motherly care for those smaller than it or those living in their tree. Yet when other humanoid or evil creatures are neaby, they will quickly meld within their tree and hide. Should they be too far from their tree, they will attempt to flee, using violence only as a last resort. Should many dryads arise and wake near each other, they form what is known as a ring of trees. This is most often seen in elder forests near the more ancient fae, the Sei'yuulei (or Nymphs in the common tongue). There they will heed the word of the Sei'yuulei all the while taking the task upon themselves of caring for the beasts, insects and fae living nearby.

DRYAD RELIGION

Dryads are creatures of nature and therefore respect the greater powers and spirits of nature. The dryads also praise the earthen lord Gor'kan and worship the moon, Yshae, and the sun, Sylhael, like all other fae-folk.

RELIGION - YSHAE AND SYLHAEL, THE TWIN DIVINES

RELIGION - GOR'KAN, EARTH ELEMENTAL LORD

DRYAD DIMORPHISMS

Dryads are always female of form and therefore have no dimorphisms.
